Mr. Weiner Tests a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

In this video, Terry Peterman, the Internet Electrician, with help from his assistant, Congressman Weiner, demonstrates just how effective GFCI protection is in minimizing the implications of an electric shock. Then we see the dramatic results when Mr. Weiner comes in contact with 120V on a regular 15A circuit. Also shown is how without any leakage to ground, a GFCI circuit can still do some major damage if the current path stays between the hot and the neutral.
